  • Use a ricer or potato masher to achieve a smooth and creamy texture.
  • Do not overcook the potatoes, as this will make them gluey.
  • Add the milk and butter gradually, and stir constantly to prevent lumps.
  • Season the mashed potatoes generously with salt and pepper.
  • For extra flavor, add a dollop of sour cream, a sprinkle of chopped chives, or a grating of fresh nutmeg.
  • If you are making the mashed potatoes ahead of time, reheat them gently over low heat, stirring frequently.
